I'm the same with tea. Cheap tea is awful, good tea is amazing. Unfortunately expensive ≠ good. Thankfully I've found a good supplier, for a reasonable price (for the quality).

Commenting on an old post, but hopefully still of use.
There are 2 main treatments for ADHD, drugs and CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy). Both help a bit. However, when both are combined, the effectiveness is magnified massively.
Basically, most of the issues with ADHD aren't the ADHD itself, but the maladaptations we've created to deal with it (or other maladaptations!). CBT can tell us what to change, along with how. Unfortunately, we know many of them, but can't apply them, the ADHD mind is quite resistant to this sort of change. This is where meds come in. On their own, they counter some of the baseline problems of ADHD. Unfortunately, they don't effect the maladaptations we already have. What they do do however is make adjusting our minds a LOT easier. When this is combined with CBT, the results are impressive.
Many of us choose to stay on the drugs, long term. They help with problems we don't want to have, without significant side effects. If you choose not to however, that is also fine. Some people use the drugs to make changes, then come off them. Others brute force the CBT route to help, without drugs at all. None of us will (or at least shouldn't) judge others for choosing a different path.
I would possibly also add portal 2 to that. They didn't try to recreate portal 1, but built something impressive upon it instead.
It's not complete bullshit. Corrosion on an HDMI cable will mess it up in interesting ways. I use them way too much, in less than ideal conditions though.
Any corrosion resistant coating will work however, gold is just the most well known. Unfortunately, a lot of Chinese suppliers seem to drop even that, in the name of cost savings.
Anything thrown together in 5 years will be terrifying. ChatGPT is, effectively, a labotomised speach center of an AI. Google have made significant progress on the Visual systems. However, they are small parts of a true AI.
In order to translate from what a human wants to working code, you need to do a lot of thinking. You need to fill in a lot of gaps, and remap from manager mindset to actual code abstracts. Therefore, in order to do this reliably, an AI would have to be operating at or near sentience levels, with a LOT of additional structures to stabilise it.
Such an AI would likely be a perfect demo of the "paperclip maximiser" problem.
They've likely seen a LOT worse. Just remember the difference between a maid and a cleaner. A maid clears up the mess, a cleaner cleans the place. If your getting a cleaner, you'll need to make some effort to get the mess out of their way.
I've also found that's a useful effect. If you've someone coming in to clean every week or two, then you have a deadline and motivation to do your tidying. I don't want to pay a cleaner to waste time shuffling around my clutter.
